Host Orli Matlow sits down with the incredibly cool teen Iddo Elam, who served prison time for refusing to serve in the Israeli military. They talk about Iddo’s journey as a conscientious objector, which includes putting on tefillin for the first time ever in military prison—and also Hannah Einbinder’s acceptance speech at the Emmys. Iddo provides encouragement to everyone around the world living under fascist vibes, making the case for its inevitable collapse.
